Does this tool require sharpening?

It is extremely sharp when it is new, more so than any other tool I have ever had. I would imagine that no tool will remain sharp forever, but this one is doing very well.

Not initially. It comes already sharpened and it is extremely sharp. I'm sure, after some use, it will require some sharpening.

No, but it has a pull out manual carbide slot for manually sharpening serated knives. Works well.

no. it will need sharpening in that period of time, given the amount of usage in a business kitchen.

Yes and no if the blade is very dull it won't sharpen, if the blade is sharp it will maintain the blade. I use a hand file to first shape the edge then I use the sharpener.

Our trimmer is new, so it has not needed sharpening yet, however, there are many articles to tell you how to do it yourself, such as on www.gardenguides.com/67541-sharpen-black-decker-electric-hedge... They say it is cheaper, however , I would have someone else do it , due to my limited skills. :-)

Yes there is a sharpening stone. It is behind the rope on the sheath and it's loose.

Mine didn't come with a sharpening kit. I bought the kit separately from Amazon.

It comes very sharp and i havent needed to sharpen it even after constant us for a few months.I would say that yes at some point when you sharpen it,it will take a small layer of the coating of near the blade.

The blade is reasonably durable, but like any metal cutting implement, it does require sharpening to keep its performance optimal. Personally, I use a diamond coated honing tool, and I sharpen it after every trip where it sees significant use

No. Do not sharpen. You will weaken the leading edge of the blade. The blades cut just fine right out of the box with slightly dull edges.

I have not had a need to sharpen the blade. It has been used seasonally and this is the second year of use. It is extremely sharp when it arrives and it remains sharp. I'm not certain as to what I will use to sharpen when the time comes.

It's a prying tool as opposed to a cutting tool. The tool is already dull out of the box as there is no need for sharpness.

No, it doesn't but it's so sharp that you won't need to sharpen it for a while, and the price is worth buying a knife sharpener separately (if needed). I've only used it for Sushi so it's still pretty sharp.

I have not had to sharpen the blades as of yet, (I have used 2 summers). However, if I had to I would take to my lawnmower person for sharpening or new blades. :)

Hi Kullen,I have not actually needed a sharpener yet; however, I find the best sharpener for maintain this type of blade is a diamond or ceramic sharpening rod. Hope this helps. Thanks :-)

You cannot sharpen the blades - this is why this is a $40 tool and not a $240 tool.However I've had mine for something like 4 or 5 years now, I use it regularly, and it is still super scary sharp. So ... you probably won't ever need to sharpen it in normal household use.
